UNION, N.J. -- In a move designed to help pharmaceutical and biotech companies ensure reliable compliance with regulatory requirements of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA), while providing comprehensive coverage from a single source, Data Reduction Systems Corp. (DRS), (www.drscorp.com) a leading provider of information products and services, recently announced the addition of DRS PDMAcomply to its Pharma Solutions suite of services.
